What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice exploring the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, improvise and transform.

“Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration, connection, fun, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance." - Seth Newman (Ecstatic Dance London)

ED has organically grown into a space of movement and music exploration inspired by sources such as; Gabrielle Roth (5 rhythms), ritual dance, trance dance and contact improvisation. These influences have evolved Ecstatic Dance into a movement journey of the mind, body and soul. The music will take the dancer on a movement journey through a diverse mixture of rhythms and genres depending on the DJ and circle leader. There is no teacher, but there is a circle leader to provide containment and guidance.

‘No Steps, No Pressure, Just Dance’

Facilitator Victoria Jane & DjVJ


Victoria Jane has been passionate about dance since early childhood, dancing through ballet school and performing arts college to accomplishing a BA Hons in Contemporary Dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. After her studies, Victoria found interest in the healing arts, yogic movement and philosophy. Victoria first found her passion for free flow movement through '5 Rhythms' workshops in Melbourne Australia and then ventured back to Europe where she facilitated Ecstatic Dance in The Netherlands with the Ecstatic Dance team in The Hague. Victoria has an MA Degree in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred, where she majored in Jungian thought, Spiritual Channeling and Ekstasis Dance, exploring her concept 'Being or Pretending to Be', into the question, 'Are you Dancing or Pretending to Dance?'


Victoria hopes her experience and knowledge bring ease-fulness, depth and inspiration to the ecstatic dancers' inner journey and expression.



DJvJ (Victoria Jane) is self taught World Fusion DJ and has recently been professionally trained by the 'Dance is Medicine' Ecstatic DJ School. DJvJ's music set style is an explorational journey through tribal percussion, classical piano, folk, African house, Indian sitar, tantric beats, latin salsa with a dash of 90s house and maybe even a cheeky pop song now and again. As Victoria was a dancer before she was a DJ she has an ear for what will make you DANCE DANCE DANCE.
